Yves Klein
French artist Yves Klein is best known for his trademark ultramarine pigment, which he patented as International Klein Blue in 1961. “Blue … is beyond dimensions, whereas the other colors are not,” he said.
“All colors arouse specific ideas, while blue suggests at most the sea and the sky; and they, after all, are in actual, visible nature what is most abstract.”
Starting in the mid-1950s, Klein made retinal blue monochrome paintings (which would prove cornerstones of Minimalism) and the pigment would also feature prominently in his Anthropometry paintings, for which Klein smeared nude women with blue pigment and used them as human brushes on canvas, sometimes in elaborate public performances. Klein's work anticipated Conceptual art, performance art and environmental art, as in his selling of portions of empty space to collectors. For The Void (1958), he presented an empty gallery as an artwork, wearing a white tie and tails to show visitors around the blank walls.

- YVES KLEIN MUST DIE by Micah HeimlichBy Micah HeimlichLocated in Yucca Valley, CASPONGE SERIES (“YVES KLEIN MUST DIE”) WALL SCULPTURE 2020-21 Bronze-cast sea sponge plated in contaminated gold, graphite, 18 x 18 x 2 in. Micah Heimlich is a versatile artist and designer whose Furbishure collections further demonstrate his California Surrealist sensibilities. Heimlich uses naturally sourced materials to create unique and thoughtful pieces that combine the functional with the fantastic, resulting in far-flung product designs such as furniture, fittings, and fine art. Heimlich’s uncanny looking assemblages can even be described as “art sponges,” with whimsical surfaces that belie their deep subterranean sources from art, architecture, and design. While some Furbishure collections feature minerals such as mica and gemstones, others, like the recent “Oumuamua” series, incorporate organic remains such as sea sponges and desert burls. Heimlich makes colored metal casts of these found objects and then combines them to form lamps, standing “shadow pieces,” and other novelties. The resulting formal hybrids oscillate between fine art and Gebrauchskunst, on the one hand, and Baroque architecture and Bernard Palissy’s decorated grottos and ceramic dishes on the other. As with another of Heimlich’s recent collections, the “Sea Sponge Series,” these new “Oumuamua” pieces chime with the traditional Wunderkammer, which, like the Opificio Delle Pietre Dure in Florence, Italy, is dedicated to the curiosities and rarities of the natural world. For “Oumuamua,” Heimlich’s multistoried sources include Yves Klein’s Blue Sponge paintings and objects, Jean Dubuffet’s impish sponge figures like Le danseur, and Piero Manzoni’s Lines of Infinite Length traced by an ink-soaked sponge. Furthermore, by extending these tracings to the Dutch designer Marcel Wanders’s “Kaleido of Life” and other organically intertwined works, such as his 1997 “Sponge Vase...Category
